Is it normal to feel where a persons mind is focused?

7 Comments

This is something new for me - recently I noticed that sometimes I can feel where people are focusing their minds. Like at home if someone is in another room but is listening to me doing my work, I can feel their mind on me - and if they change their focus back to something else, I can feel that as well. Or if people are looking at me, its possible to literally feel their gaze as a pressure on me. This just started happening recently, before that I never felt anything and I didn't even know this was possible. In fact I would never have believed this if I had never witnessed it. How about everyone else?

I could always feel this since I was young 13
I just became able to feel this 2
I couldn't initially, but it's been a while now 4
I know about this, but I can't feel anything 6
What the hell are you talking about? 20

    Ive experienced things like this before... its all a part of our normal senses, but usually when we're young we're told to ignore such things as superstition and so we supress it. ESP exists in a way, but it ties into collective memory and instinct, things like that. Our minds are more complex than we like to realise.

    I can feel it when people are looking at me. :) Not sure about the other stuff.

    Did you ever see the scientific experiment with the people on the escalator with the mirrored wall at the bottom? When there was someone behind the mirror they counted more people on the escalator checking behind them coz they could 'feel' they were being watched.

    They reckoned it's a survival instinct we inherited.

    Although, if you start to feel this way all the time, it is often a first sign of depression.

    Yes, sometimes I can feel it. Not all the time though. The mind is a strange thing...

      Oh yea, I forgot to add a "sometimes" option! oh well~ Strange indeed, makes me wonder what else is possible.

        I've felt it when people I am close to go through intense emotions. Also feel it when someone is about to phone me or SMS or just thinking about me (not all the time though). A few people I've talked to have told me the same thing.
